ESP just released an 80s style lineup in their LTD line. I actually may want to pickup one of those just for the shits and giggles if the god of bling wills it.

I remember these - Ibanez's RR knock offs from the 80s that are supposedly high quality and some say even better overall than the Jacksons. I recall Jack Owen of Cannibal Corpse used one as his main during the Barnes era as well as Silenoz of Dimmu Borgir which he used up until the ETD era if I'm not mistaken.

If I'm not mistaken, this is the first instance that Ibanez used sharkfin inlays and that iconic headstock design later used on RGs and such.
